Many of them. They were the ones with steel rims that could never be properly trued, cottered steel crank sets, nightmarish deraileurs like the Allvit-Huret, etc. Then I bought a Fuji and found happiness. My first Grand Record from the progressive folks at Motobecane in France also put a happy smile on my face. Bikes really improved in the mid'70s through mid-'80s. Some people may say later bikes are better, but I like bikes with nice lugged chrome-molybdenum steel frames.
